No platform for the GOP in 2020

Those are Democrat cities and Democrat States where the rioting by the Democrat constituents are occurring. NOt fooling anybody.
No scare tactic. They are not straight out calling for socialism, though a significant minority of Democrats are straight out in favor. But every issue that comes up its the Democrats that are for more government control and more free money.
Yes…that is what I am saying about Biden. He was supposed to be the kinder, more gentle alternative to Trump…increasingly it is at least match for match.

It’s analogous to a burglar breaking in your house and blaming you by saying “if your neighbor lived here, you could have prevented this.”

But…TDS!!

The RNC Convention has barely gotten started, and already someone has called Obama a “monkey” as Trump grins and tells them to “be nice”. A trainwreck right out of the ■■■■■■■ gate. Republicans are SCREWED.

In the interest of fairness, I just listened to the audio and to me it sounds like the person yells “spygate,” not “monkey.”

I listened again. IMO it could have been either. Trump had just referred to spygate. In any case, Trump’s response was not humorous, if you look at the video.

@W_and_C

So if I’m understanding you correctly, the opposite of what Trump campaign alleges is true then - we’ve got rioting, looting and murder under Trump - which will stop as soon as Biden is elected.

What you have is Democrat governors and mayors who will not stop riots and looting by Democrat constituents. They even get furious at the thought of the Federal government doing anything to stop the rioting. And then they are blaming Trump for not stopping what they are causing to happen.

@Ceasar

Actually, one is going to be speaking at the GOP convention tonight, a black democrat from Ga. who says the democrats have gone off the deep end…so…

But we already have been told by Biden that if he is for Trump…

@Blackwolf

@Forcefield

If that’s the case then Trump winking and saying “be nice” and “only in NC!” makes zero sense.

I agree his response does sound out of place.

Winking.
Good gosh.

[Blackwolf]

@DougBH

I just checked that spot on youtube. Nebraska mischaracterized Trump’s reaction when some idiot yelled that out. He literally said “lets be nice” and the expression on his face was anything but humorous.

I’m more certain that he smirked and giggled when he pointed at the person, less certain that I hear anything except “spygate.”

I’ll cross reference with different sources.

[DougBH]

It is clear that people are reading his reaction completely differently. He did not appreciate that person, whatever he said.
There was no wink.

More and more evidence comes up that Biden isn’t the kindly old uncle type that Democrats like to portray. He has his history of name calling, sexual aggression and using his position in government to enrich his family. How is this ok?
I don’t like Trumps childish name calling either. Most President’s have other people to do that sort of stuff for them. But we are talking about the welfare of the country. Capitalism or socialism. Riots, looting and murder or law and order. The welfare of the country or being the world policeman.
These are a lot more important than Trump’s tweeting.

We’ve got rioting, looting, and murder right now - and Trump is president.

As far as the “socialism” thing - that’s just a scare tactic by certain entertainers to keep GOP voters in line every 2 years. Once you leave political parties behind, that is pretty easy to see. Both parties do that with their voters.

As far as the sexual aggression thing - neither candidate really has an advantage there. We have Trump on tape bragging about grabbing women by the ■■■■■■

Socialism is an economic system whereby the means of production are owned by the government. And while it has been used under circumstances (i.e. - when the government bought shares of GM as part of the bailout), that’s not the way the overall economy works here. I can see someone such as Bernie Sanders pushing for such a system, but he didn’t do well in either presidential race at all. And he is one of the more extreme members of Congress. Outside of a very very small minority, I don’t hear anyone calling for the government to completely own the means of production.

Not seeing a wink myself. He does smirk and let out a brief giggle.

[DougBH]

Fine. Then a third of Democrats say they want the government to control the means of production. That is reason enough to stay clear of them.

As I said, at the current point they are not all the way to socialism…but they are steadily moving closer, by way of social welfarisim.

[DougBH]

You see a smirk, I see a grimace.
A subtle difference, but a difference.

Either way, I see Biden as more of a stopgap. At his age, he’s only going to be a one - termer. I really do hope the GOP can get it’s act together over the next 4 years. They were on the right track in 2015 until Trump came along. Whether or not they can return to their conservative roots is something we’ll just have to see. I hope they can. Honestly, I don’t like the idea of having to vote Biden, but with Trump being so irresponsible, there is no way I can vote for him.

[DougBH]

He has a big mouth and his personal life is not something to follow.
I’m not his confessor.
I hope to see him continue to do a good job above the noise of his opposition.

GOP Won’t Have 2020 Platform, Pledges Undying Trump Support

“Not even the usual cosmetic window dressing here.

Just undying support of the president.

What’s most remarkable about the personality-cult character of the Republican party is that its leader is deeply unpopular with the public. “Previous conventions have convened to support Republican incumbents who were genuinely respected by the public (Ronald Reagan, Dwight Eisenhower) without prostrating themselves like this. Why would the party, and its candidates running for office at every level, define themselves so thoroughly with a president who has never even briefly held the support of half the country?“

Allan

haha, Ronald Reagan, genuinely respected, good one. I was alive back then, the left hated him just as much as they do Trump.

They still do.

Can’t count the number of times libs here have called him “Saint Ronnie”

Last year, Reagan was a closet racist. Some libs allegedly held him in high regard before that.

Not me. Could not stand the gentleman, but he beats trump easily as a better president. Alzheimer’s and all.

The country was in tough shape in 1981. Much better in 1989, when he left.

[Smyrna]

Well…waking up to a thread of triggered libs, it must have been a great night…and only 3 more to go.

Yeah, not you. Maybe. Depends. lol

@biggestal99

I can honestly say, I never liked Reagan and certainly never voted for the man.

I really do hope we have 3 more nights of what we had last night.
